Qualities men bring:
Assurance, courage, strength, optimism, direction, vision, encompassment,
fortitude, stamina, persistence, steadfastness, daring, teamwork,
accountability, responsibility, competence, tenacity, trust, practicality,
protection, stillness, penetration, action….
These are by no means exclusively qualities of men, but some
of them are more often associated with men than women, and sometimes women who
express ‘some’ of these qualities can seem (to western men) to be a bit
‘manly’. (even scary or unattractive - no matter how 'attractive' they may be
in the current stereotype model of 'attractive')
As a generalization, most men will have some but not all of
these qualities in greater or lesser degrees. In other words – a different mix.
And so – we each bring a different blend, a different
flavour and perspective to the table.
The table I envision is perhaps round – a symbol for which
might be the Knights of the Round Table, but maybe in this new day it is
spherical! The Knights of the Global
Heliosphere…ha!

[The heliosphere is the immense magnetic bubble containing
our solar system, solar wind, and the entire solar magnetic field. It extends
well beyond the orbit of Pluto - Wiki]
I love that this new grouping gives me the opportunity to
share, interact and learn with and from other men. I have other groupings where
women are also included.
This grouping however feels a bit more focused and
intentional - and this I like – even though it has only just begun and we, as
yet, have no clearly defined goal or purpose other than to share and explore
together. This is enough for me in ‘this’ moment.
